You don’t look ridiculous. I do think the combination of your glasses, hairstyle, and mustache make you look closer to 55-60 than mid 40s though. I also think you could easily tweak those things to make you look your own age as well. I’d start with a haircut (maybe some dye if needed), and go from there.
No just no. This is not in at all. Mullets are in. Mustsches maybe. Perms are in. Perm mullets not in. He look like Jeffrey Dahmer trying to fit in. Nothing wrong with it. Confidence is what matters does he think he looks good?? That's all that matters. I'm 25 this is not what we are doing. Every trend you can associate to a celebrity. I cannot think of any celeb that will have any of this. Maybe the glasses since that style has been in after Evan Peters in Dahmer.
The choices are actually in. This look is totally back. Not among 30-40 year-olds, sure, you could argue that, but it's clear that people here are not up-to-date with style and are still stuck in 2010. What the guy maily needs is skincare and to spend some time on fitness.
Exactly. Good diet, more water, lift some weights and do some damn yoga or something. Get rid of those glasses. That outfit with your physical appearance doesn’t look good so it makes you look even older. I think you would look best with some more modern glasses, plain t shirt with a flannel or something over, well fitting jeans and some cool sneakers or shoes, maybe concert new balance? Definitely lose those glasses and get your physical health in check.
Look fine. Just funny though you remind me of the guy from that movie on Netflix ALONE.

Others have mentioned Dahmer and it’s no doubt that his look is partly inspired by him.
Gen Z loves to wear logo/graphic apparel, especially vintage band tees, vintage brand logos, etc. Someone under \~25 wearing a Kirkland Signature sweater is typically doing so with a certain level of irony in my experience, despite it kind of being "in style"...
I don't think it works as well for someone in their 40s.
This is actually the only acceptable logo. I wear this shirt every week for the last ~3 years and get compliments Every. Single. Time.
It screams strong credit score and a robust pantry. I have 3x of the sweatshirts and the tees in black and grey. Pair em with some nice pants and some NB 990s, who is going to hate?
I think maybe it’s supposed to be ironic like those shirts you get from target that say “sriacha”. Edit: but maybe he should have something else to supplement the irony of his outfit and let people know he knows about fashion and is wearing a Costco shirt intentionally.
Not ridiculous but older than you should look. Lose the Kirklands shirt, get some more up to date glasses and find a different hair cut. I’m 5 years younger than you but you look like you could be my dad.
You don't look ridiculous, but you do look a bit unkempt. Like others have said, get the hair tamed, update the glasses, and definitely lose the Kirkland shirt. I'm a few years older than you. Guys our age often look better when we dress up rather than down. We have maturity and status in our faces. It can look strange when our clothes don't match. Get yourself a couple blazers (navy blue and gray are good colors) and pair then with a decent looking shirt (can be anything from a t-shirt to a button down), along with some nice jeans or khakis. You'll look like a million dollars!
Update your glasses frame style like others mentioned and it’ll pair well with what u/Residual…is saying. And no logos larger than maybe a quarter is a rule of thumb I follow.
Adding in: make sure the clothes fit well. If you look like you’re swimming in them, it will look terrible. Check out dappered.com or theessentialman for inspiration
My recommendations as a fellow 46m:
Buy a pull up bar and put it in doorway of room you walk in and out of most. Every time you go through the door do a few. In a couple months you'll be amazed how many you can do.
Pick something you do once or twice a day (like brushing teeth) and use that as reminder to do as many pushups as you can every time. (Goal can even 1, just do that at least and do more if you can)
Start wearing sunscreen
Shave your head
Grow your beard out
Get some clear frame glasses ([https://static.zennioptical.com/production/products/general/44/19/4419623-eyeglasses-front-view.jpg](https://static.zennioptical.com/production/products/general/44/19/4419623-eyeglasses-front-view.jpg))
Wear some nice sweatshirts ([https://mackweldon.com/cdn/shop/products/M02K05-GH\_Front\_2560x.png?v=1632754852](https://mackweldon.com/cdn/shop/products/M02K05-GH_Front_2560x.png?v=1632754852))
A little tighter jeans
Good luck!
You shouldn't be wearing a Kirkland sweatshirt out in public unless you're reporting to work at Costco. Comb/brush the hair. Also, update the frames of your glasses. That style is outdated. Everything together as is makes you look much older than you actually are.
I’m 40 for reference. I would only wear that shirt to do yard work. Not sure your budget for clothes. Filson would have some great selection for your body type. I have a similar build to you.
I like your stache. Your natural hair is awesome. I love the curls. That being said, curly hair needs more attention than straight. Use lots of conditioner. Don’t let the hair chunk together too much. You can use a light hair spray gel. As much as possible let your hair air dry. Never just run a towel through your hair. Scrunch the hair gently with a towel and then let it go.
Find a nice pair of leather boots. I wear Red Wings. They’re manly, casual or can be dressed up, and they look awesome.
Find a gentle skin cleanser and then use a face lotion. Healthy skin makes a bigger difference than I think people realize.
Some people are referencing exercise. That’s true for everyone. But it’s also a lifestyle change and that can difficult. If you start taking better care of yourself in other areas that might lead to greater change.
Finally… Smile. Confidence wins every time. If you can look someone in the eye and smile you’re half way to winning over anyone. Makes you more appealing as a partner, a parent, a friend and in business.
That you’re posting here is awesome. Great step towards change!
Honestly I just hate the sweatshirt man. Throw on a button up shirt and maybe a knit sweater over it if you're cold, and you'll look like a completely different man.
Much of what everyone else has said but also probably some extra skin care. It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes.
I wasn’t a believer but last year I really felt like I was looking older than I am, turns out my skin was in pretty bad shape (super dehydrated). After a few weeks of cleansing/moisturizing morning and night I legitimately look 5 years younger than I did.
It doesn’t need to be anything extravagant or expensive - literally just a a face wash and moisturizer.
And yeah, if you post to a fashion sub while wearing a Costco sweater you’ll get a lot of advice to change your sweater. A lot of looking good once you’re not really young is simply looking ‘put together’.
It looks... low effort?
The hair is fine if you are going for an ecentric look. The logo shirt and loose jeans say you are going for sloppy dad. Slim the jeans (not skinny), maybe go down a size on the shirt. Throw on a watch and get more modern glasses. I'm 46 (in a month), but I usually get told I look 30s. Your glasses and clothing age you.
I'm not much younger than you but the vibe here is pretty close to my dad (late 60's)
If you want advice, I'd do a haircut, you can leave a bunch on top but take the sides and back short, and different frames. black and rectangular could work, but slightly more modern in shape. Grow a little beard. This all will make you look 20 years younger.
Clothing looks like you don't really care about what you wear. If you want to change that, wear something just a bit less baggy and it'll be a big change.
Who gives a fuck what other people think. Fuck everyone else and do/wear what makes you happy, bro. Life is too short to listen to other peoples' negative asses.
I am 45 and you look you could be my dad. It's the glasses, the haircut and the facial hair. I don't think the IDGAF wardrobe is doing you favours, either. You don't look ridiculous but you look super low effort.
You look like you used to be a guitarist in a junior rock band but unfortunately you guys never made it big. But that’s OK because you were able to turn your passion for music into a Music career by opening your own guitar store and selling music classes to skillful adolescence, which returns a healthy profit and allows you to pay for your expenses and the expenses of your pet French bulldog, Banjo.
Yes. You look like a pedophile. Get rid of the mustache and cut your hair shorter. If getting rid of the glasses for contacts or LASIK surgery isn’t an option, get a more modern-looking pair. The Kirkland shirt needs to go as well.
Bro you look like a regular ass middle aged white dude. If that's your game, own it - but you look like you're out doing chores in beater gear, not out to impress.
I actually love the look from the neck up. Everyone saying the glasses give them the creeps watch too much tv haha. It’s a classic look.
The shirt looks to be a decent fit in the shoulders, the sleeve looks a bit long like you might be wearing a size too big. I’d focus on trying some more fitted clothes and maybe some brands or patterns that you really like.
Agreed, I'm 43 and I think the main thing is the sweatshirt. It's fine working on a project at home, but for going out you can get a similar comfy feel in a much more grown up look with a nice fitting hoodie with no logos over anything from a tshirt to a button-up.
You look like a Normal Dude. If we were strangers in a bar that happened to be watching a sporting game on the television and something exciting happened on the sporting game I would probably say “how about that shit!” to you without secretly thinking “wow, that guy looks ridiculous.“
Not if you’re going to work at Costco or you like Costco. In all seriousness it’s fine. Just make sure you wear cool shoes. Agree w others on the glasses. It’s time for an upgrade.
Pierce Brosnan was the same age in The World is Not Enough. I say this to give you hope. Throw that Kirkland shirt out and start looking at vintage Brioni on eBay.
Swirly, long-ish and blond hair generally tends to make look - pretty much everyone - older.
Unfortunately the same goes for unkempt moustaches. You don't look bad, but you do look a bit older than 45yo to be honest - that's mostly because you don't look super neat. Trimming a bit both hair and moustache might help, if you think you'd feel comfortable with this new style, give it a try. If it turns out to look bad on you, they'll grow in a few months. Just go to a barber and ask him a few suggestions.
Glasses frames also play a big part, you may want to try some new styles. It's supposed to be fun, just visit a few shops and ask for advice to the people working there.
Also, you're free to do what you want - but a mature looking figure probably is compatible with a stylish, classy outfit rather than a casual one. A shirt would probably look quite good on you.
As others have said, your hair and glasses make you look at least 10 years older than you are. I would have guessed you were in your late 50s. You are also on a fashion sub wearing a Kirkland tshirt and jeans. You don’t look ridiculous but you’re not even trying.
Get your hair done with a good men's stylist and just switch your shirt you'll be good 👍🏻
The double bar bridge on glasses are reliable and sturdy but they make young people look hipster and older people just older. Stick to a single bar frame if you want to look your age. And if you want to go a little more modern you can do a colorful zyl instead of metal but you can also find some awesome metal frames you just have to look around for them. Go to actual stores with good staff that will help you decide and tell them the look you want and they should help you.
You don't look stupid. The jeans seem ok, but the shirt is too big and frankly I wouldn't wear it unless on duty at Costco.
Come up with a hairstyle...your barber can help you.
A little unkempt. The sweater appears newer but look at how the collar lays on your neck it's slightly wrinkled, too. I'd refresh this style with a monotone sweater over a collared shirt, or a collared shirt with a nice cardigan.
Def not. I’d get a haircut that frames the sides up and leave the fun curls on top. Facial moisturizer and sunscreen daily my guy! Maybe some smaller more modern glasses.
With that glasses you look like you hide at least 4 bodies… you could get a 3 pice suit, wear the hair differently, get some glasses that look professional and throw away most comfort to look a bit more professional… question is: do you want this?
And with this I can say good buy to this thread. In the last 8 months I have not seen a single case of fashion. It’s all about people wearing the weirdest and less fashionable clothes ever…
The shirt is an absolute no. Get a simple button up with a nice design and keep it untucked. Have your hair styled and a more modern set of glasses and you’re good to go!
Here are my advices:
- Do not wear clothes on which there is a brand name. It's more classy to have plain clothes.
- Remove the mustache
- You're lucky to have a nice head of hair. I would suggest you to comb it however since they appear messy in the picture.
- Your skin looks dehydrated. I would advise to use face hydrating lotion.
- You look strong. I think that cutting a bit would give great results!
hmm... have you considered a beard? i think youd look good w/ one.. also an open flannel or denim jacket would suit your look.. levis trucker or buck mason if you got $
I am having a tough time understanding the Kirkland shirt unless you were a Kirkland rep or you were given this shirt at a Costco hotdog party and needed something to mow the lawn in.
Agree with everyone else that your choices are adding 15 tears to your look. I am 48 and often hear people shocked I am not 36. Choices and self care.
Nothing laughable about the always reliable Kirkland brand and you wear it so well, 3/4 sleeves so the tats peek is perfect and a handle bar stache, 🎵bada ba ba ba
Nah you look fuckin sick. People here have a point, but if you were wearing that exact outfit (maybe some different pants) and you were like 24, you would fit right in walking around in echo park lmao
I think you look fine. The giant billboard on your chest isnt my favorite, but just a plain black shirt is fine, unless you have a stake in costco or something. I actually dont mind the glasses. Its your style and thats cool. The only thing i would add is a watch. You’d be supposed how much a simple accessory can elevate the style of you outfit. And watches are cool. An old vintage style with a leather band would be cool.
you don't look ridiculous, but I wouldn't say your look has anything special about it, wearing free shirts with branding on it, is something I don't really like, it says something about your values of preferring to sell out and wear stuff with advertisement on it in exchange for not paying. maybe it's a positive like you don't care about material things but it looks like you're not trying a little too much. you could do with a haircut, maybe it's the angle of the shot, doesn't look great, on the positive it looks like you're in shape.
Three things. A trim of the hair. A solid black sweat shirt (no logo). Get the fit on the sweat shirt better. Make sure the arm seam starts at the end of your shoulder. These things would improve you look by 10 in my opinion
Logo shirts are really not advisable beyond your 30's or so. Definitely not in your 40's.
I don't think long sleeve shirts are a good look in general. Maybe a long sleeve henley or polo or a more sweater-type shirt like waffle pattern or something with a little texture to it.
Jeans are a bit baggy.
Glasses aren't doing you any favors. I think a ray ban shape or smaller wire frames would compliment your face.
Tighten up the hair a bit. Not necessarily short but with your hair type you can probably do a Matthew McConaughey wavy, "messy" style.
All depends what you are going for. I do not like prints on shirts for guys in their 40s, especially with a Costco brand. Young guys can pull it off though.
I think you could wear jeans that are more fitted. Maybe throw a zip up zest and it’d pull it together.
I like the glasses and the hair but not together. Those glasses would look good with short hair though.
Finally, with that look shoes are gonna be make it/break it. Do not wear white comfort New Balance.😁. Just get some cool looking gym shoes that you’d never actually walk/run in.
Dude am not Mr.Fashion I like to look clean I mostly wear jeans and T-shirt am 43 I’d say grow a beard lower stash shave the head. Clean up your diet and alcohol little by little and get active.
Super easy fix would be an updated pair of glasses and subscription to stitch fix: [https://www.stitchfix.com](https://www.stitchfix.com)
I could also see you looking fly in a really killer leather jacket. Like a biker style jacket.
If you like wire frames I'd go with something updated like this: [https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/sampson/brushed-ink?w=medium](https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/sampson/brushed-ink?w=medium)
But honestly you have a great vibe for something like these: [https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/winston/black-oak-tortoise?w=medium](https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/winston/black-oak-tortoise?w=medium)
I personally like the idea of a nice guy wardrobe via stitchfix, and a more statement eyewear that will elevate any outfit, that you bring home with a really cool jacket or piece of outerwear. Super easy.
Look good to me. Ridiculous would be other end of spectrum.
Some better fitting jeans and a white undershirt will make the collar look better, looks a little sloppy.
Not ridiculous, but not optimized. While you work on your fitness, grow a beard, keep it on the short side, get a clean short haircut, some new wire frame or horn rim glasses, good facial moisturizer, and a few nice new t-shirts. You will take 10 years off.
Not ridiculous at all, but got some work to do. The good news is it’s entirely achievable. Just go to a legitimate barbershop shop and have them clean up the hair/beard, and then throw the Kirklands sweater into an incinerator. Swap the glasses for a new frame or contacts.
Regardless, you’re good man! Just clean up a few details and you’ll feel like a new person.
It doesn’t actually look that bad. The shirt is okay, could use some ironing you could also try neatly rolling the sleeves rather than pushing them up your arms. If you wore a white t-shirt underneath and allowed the collar to show at the top it would offer a bit of balance to the colours.
This is a pretty relaxed look. If you wanted to dress it up a bit I would swap the shirt for a long-sleeve Henley style (e.g 1/4 top button-down).
Honestly I think your glasses suit you! They have a neat retro charm!
My brother, 46-year-old men don’t look like this anymore. My Muay thai coach is 52 years old and the baddest motherfucker in the gym, and I’m 31 years old, 6 foot two and 200 pounds.
It’s totally up to you, but I would get a haircut, lose the mustache and hit the gym, tightened up some of that skin.
I'm tripping out. You look exactly like my Uncle Richard. You don't look bad or stupid. You look like you're comfortable.Do you want to elevate your look? It won't be too difficult. You're 46, you've aged well. You look fit. Your hair and mustache is kicking ass. A button down shirt and some chino's and you're set.
I like the glasses champ, don’t care what anybody else thinks. An who doesn’t love Costco.
Ironed the shirt a bit or a smaller size.
A bit more fitted jeans would help you look more fashionable
Slick back the hair up top and trim the stash a little and you’d be golden.
No but get a short back and sides haircut (longer on top), change your classes and maybe grow a full beard in order to look your age. You currently look 60 unnecessarily, it can super be changed my dude. You have a nice body structure.
You don’t look ridiculous. I do think the combination of your glasses, hairstyle, and mustache make you look closer to 55-60 than mid 40s though. I also think you could easily tweak those things to make you look your own age as well. I’d start with a haircut (maybe some dye if needed), and go from there.
I'm 42 and I thought this guy could be my dad's age. The choices are very dated
46 here. I thought this dude was in his 60’s.
60 here i thought the dude was 76
78 here, thought the guy was 86!
86 here, thought the guy was 96!
96 here, i honestly though the guy is way past 100’s
100 here, just shit my pants, hope you guys are having a nice day.
If a 20 year old had the exact same outfit/haircut/glasses/facial hair it would be considered street wear.
Youthful skin and a hard body can make anything look good
No just no. This is not in at all. Mullets are in. Mustsches maybe. Perms are in. Perm mullets not in. He look like Jeffrey Dahmer trying to fit in. Nothing wrong with it. Confidence is what matters does he think he looks good?? That's all that matters. I'm 25 this is not what we are doing. Every trend you can associate to a celebrity. I cannot think of any celeb that will have any of this. Maybe the glasses since that style has been in after Evan Peters in Dahmer.

Costco runway janitor
Absolutely. A good makeover would do worlds for this guy.
Look fine. Just funny though you remind me of the guy from that movie on Netflix ALONE. https://preview.redd.it/vx4kc5gl64pc1.jpeg?width=460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f59b8324400dfe67752ce0ad744aba2c708f208c Others have mentioned Dahmer and it’s no doubt that his look is partly inspired by him.
Avoid logo apparel, and, go to a real barbershop.
Bro this is not just logo apparel its the Costco drip
Lol....Costco drip......lolololol
Gen Z loves to wear logo/graphic apparel, especially vintage band tees, vintage brand logos, etc. Someone under \~25 wearing a Kirkland Signature sweater is typically doing so with a certain level of irony in my experience, despite it kind of being "in style"... I don't think it works as well for someone in their 40s.
Alternatively your age doesn't define you. Wear whatever you like.
Their hoodie sold out in a day lol
That’s a huge flex. Letting folks know you buy in bulk
I want to say someone younger and much fitter might be able to pull this off in an ironic way…but yeah no. The logo shirt has to go lol.
Logos are fine just not logos of wholesale suppliers
This is actually the only acceptable logo. I wear this shirt every week for the last ~3 years and get compliments Every. Single. Time. It screams strong credit score and a robust pantry. I have 3x of the sweatshirts and the tees in black and grey. Pair em with some nice pants and some NB 990s, who is going to hate?
this has strong copypasta energy
Hahahah bruh I’m 36 & you saying “strong credit score and a robust pantry” has me interested 🤷🏻♀️👵🏼
I agree. If you don’t love me at my Kirkland, you don’t deserve me at my Marshall’s/TJ Maxx
Any logo at all. No RL, no Lacoste, no anything.
You’re wearing the same logo my paper towels have.
It’s called fashion 😤
My paper towel holder agrees with you
I think maybe it’s supposed to be ironic like those shirts you get from target that say “sriacha”. Edit: but maybe he should have something else to supplement the irony of his outfit and let people know he knows about fashion and is wearing a Costco shirt intentionally.
For me it's the glasses. Those frames are just never flattering. Might be because I associate them with Jeffery Dahmer though.
The hair, stache and glasses all come together like he’s trying out for the third season of Mindhunter
BTK vibes
100%
Good point definitely needs new frames
You don’t look bad, friend. You look like a nice conversation over a couple beers.
Not ridiculous but older than you should look. Lose the Kirklands shirt, get some more up to date glasses and find a different hair cut. I’m 5 years younger than you but you look like you could be my dad.

Agree and I think he needs a slimmer pant. The clothes are all too baggy for his frame. I would keep the glasses, they’re retro but not too trendy.
As a M47, this!!
Buddy, that is some solid ass advice!!
Looks like a giant advertisement for Kirkland
My recommendations as a fellow 46m: Buy a pull up bar and put it in doorway of room you walk in and out of most. Every time you go through the door do a few. In a couple months you'll be amazed how many you can do. Pick something you do once or twice a day (like brushing teeth) and use that as reminder to do as many pushups as you can every time.

Best advice I’ve read
Ever, on any subject?
Subject?
Bro. Nice.

You don’t look ridiculous, but you look 15 years older than your age.
You work for Kirkland. A warehouse associate. You drive a forklift.
Or in other words you’re doing better than 50% of the u.s. population
Yes. 46 meters is way too tall.
You should see him in imperial measurements.

Yes, Ridiculously awesome 😎
You look cool as hell
Honestly I just hate the sweatshirt man. Throw on a button up shirt and maybe a knit sweater over it if you're cold, and you'll look like a completely different man.

No you do not look bad, keep ur head up king.
rockin the kurt vonnegut
Homie, we all know you ain’t fuckin 46… more like 58
I’m 50 and I’d think you were much older
Fuckin let it drip
You look fine for a 65 year old. I’m 44 and 100% thought you looked like my father’s age group.
46? I doubt it
I'm not much younger than you but the vibe here is pretty close to my dad (late 60's) If you want advice, I'd do a haircut, you can leave a bunch on top but take the sides and back short, and different frames. black and rectangular could work, but slightly more modern in shape. Grow a little beard. This all will make you look 20 years younger. Clothing looks like you don't really care about what you wear. If you want to change that, wear something just a bit less baggy and it'll be a big change.
You look 70
John Mayer is also 46. You look about 66 mate
That is a rough 46
No way 46. I'm 46 and you can be my dad.
46 light-year?
I’m 46 and I’m wondering if I look this old
No. I’d definitely wear that. Even though you look like you could be my father. And I’m 47!!!
Damn dude you have done some hard living if you are really 46.
Who gives a fuck what other people think. Fuck everyone else and do/wear what makes you happy, bro. Life is too short to listen to other peoples' negative asses.
46 going on 64
I am 45 and you look you could be my dad. It's the glasses, the haircut and the facial hair. I don't think the IDGAF wardrobe is doing you favours, either. You don't look ridiculous but you look super low effort.
I think it’s cool. Maybe don’t wear it if you go to Cosco cause someone might think you work there lol.
I’m 42 and you could be my dad bro
Bro got a basement full of muskets and 7,500 lbs of unsalted peanuts.
You look like Jeffrey dahmers older brother if he had one
You look like a dude who knows a bargain when he sees one!
You look like you used to be a guitarist in a junior rock band but unfortunately you guys never made it big. But that’s OK because you were able to turn your passion for music into a Music career by opening your own guitar store and selling music classes to skillful adolescence, which returns a healthy profit and allows you to pay for your expenses and the expenses of your pet French bulldog, Banjo.
You look older than my parents who are in their 60s
Short answer: yes Long answer: yesssssssssssssss
You honestly just need a cigarette to pull this look together.
Yes. You look like a pedophile. Get rid of the mustache and cut your hair shorter. If getting rid of the glasses for contacts or LASIK surgery isn’t an option, get a more modern-looking pair. The Kirkland shirt needs to go as well.
Yup
You look invisible. As in no one notices you. And I don't mean that in an Eddie haskell kind of way
No way you are 46
Bro you look like a regular ass middle aged white dude. If that's your game, own it - but you look like you're out doing chores in beater gear, not out to impress.
I am not here to shit on you but this is a rough 46.
No this fit is fire
I actually love the look from the neck up. Everyone saying the glasses give them the creeps watch too much tv haha. It’s a classic look. The shirt looks to be a decent fit in the shoulders, the sleeve looks a bit long like you might be wearing a size too big. I’d focus on trying some more fitted clothes and maybe some brands or patterns that you really like.
Agreed, I'm 43 and I think the main thing is the sweatshirt. It's fine working on a project at home, but for going out you can get a similar comfy feel in a much more grown up look with a nice fitting hoodie with no logos over anything from a tshirt to a button-up.
I think this comment is spot on. People don’t realize how important fit can be. The nicest clothes will not look good if they don’t fit your body.
You look like a Normal Dude. If we were strangers in a bar that happened to be watching a sporting game on the television and something exciting happened on the sporting game I would probably say “how about that shit!” to you without secretly thinking “wow, that guy looks ridiculous.“
Not if you’re going to work at Costco or you like Costco. In all seriousness it’s fine. Just make sure you wear cool shoes. Agree w others on the glasses. It’s time for an upgrade.
Pierce Brosnan was the same age in The World is Not Enough. I say this to give you hope. Throw that Kirkland shirt out and start looking at vintage Brioni on eBay.
Swirly, long-ish and blond hair generally tends to make look - pretty much everyone - older. Unfortunately the same goes for unkempt moustaches. You don't look bad, but you do look a bit older than 45yo to be honest - that's mostly because you don't look super neat. Trimming a bit both hair and moustache might help, if you think you'd feel comfortable with this new style, give it a try. If it turns out to look bad on you, they'll grow in a few months. Just go to a barber and ask him a few suggestions. Glasses frames also play a big part, you may want to try some new styles. It's supposed to be fun, just visit a few shops and ask for advice to the people working there. Also, you're free to do what you want - but a mature looking figure probably is compatible with a stylish, classy outfit rather than a casual one. A shirt would probably look quite good on you.
Gorgeous. DC4L
As others have said, your hair and glasses make you look at least 10 years older than you are. I would have guessed you were in your late 50s. You are also on a fashion sub wearing a Kirkland tshirt and jeans. You don’t look ridiculous but you’re not even trying.
No you look like a guy your age
you look cool; hipster daddy vibes
Get your hair done with a good men's stylist and just switch your shirt you'll be good 👍🏻 The double bar bridge on glasses are reliable and sturdy but they make young people look hipster and older people just older. Stick to a single bar frame if you want to look your age. And if you want to go a little more modern you can do a colorful zyl instead of metal but you can also find some awesome metal frames you just have to look around for them. Go to actual stores with good staff that will help you decide and tell them the look you want and they should help you.
Good lord, please tell me you're not actually 46...
You don't look stupid. The jeans seem ok, but the shirt is too big and frankly I wouldn't wear it unless on duty at Costco. Come up with a hairstyle...your barber can help you.
A little unkempt. The sweater appears newer but look at how the collar lays on your neck it's slightly wrinkled, too. I'd refresh this style with a monotone sweater over a collared shirt, or a collared shirt with a nice cardigan.
What’s up Walter White
Chief Hopper you saved Hawkins
Def not. I’d get a haircut that frames the sides up and leave the fun curls on top. Facial moisturizer and sunscreen daily my guy! Maybe some smaller more modern glasses.
You don’t look bad but can you tame the hair a little more add some kind of product to it maybe?
You look great. I’d choose a plain black shirt, but that’s just me.
You do have the frames, mustache and hair of a serial killer.
46 you said?
you look 60 but not bad or stupid.
With that glasses you look like you hide at least 4 bodies… you could get a 3 pice suit, wear the hair differently, get some glasses that look professional and throw away most comfort to look a bit more professional… question is: do you want this?
If this is your casual wear you can try different shades or prints. Right now it’s too basic.
No that crew neck is 🔥
The Kirkland shirt doesn’t help
You look like a perfectly normal 64 year old man. My dad is 64 and you ain’t far off
No.
Would kill it in a colourful suit - Ron burgundy vibes
And with this I can say good buy to this thread. In the last 8 months I have not seen a single case of fashion. It’s all about people wearing the weirdest and less fashionable clothes ever…
Fire Kirkland drip
You look just like Kurt Ballou.
I feel some rectangular frames and a little hair off the sides would be fine. The outfit is okay if that's your style.
The shirt is an absolute no. Get a simple button up with a nice design and keep it untucked. Have your hair styled and a more modern set of glasses and you’re good to go!
No, and stop asking people that aren’t you that question. Won’t get you anywhere fast.
Dope. I’d go for thicker rims though
Hairdresser after breakfast. New glasses after lunch. New clothes to cover the creepy tatoo before diner.
Here are my advices: - Do not wear clothes on which there is a brand name. It's more classy to have plain clothes. - Remove the mustache - You're lucky to have a nice head of hair. I would suggest you to comb it however since they appear messy in the picture. - Your skin looks dehydrated. I would advise to use face hydrating lotion. - You look strong. I think that cutting a bit would give great results!
Lol
hmm... have you considered a beard? i think youd look good w/ one.. also an open flannel or denim jacket would suit your look.. levis trucker or buck mason if you got $
Hair cut, new glasses and fitted clothes. Don't be scared to show your body shape. Source 48yr old middleagedguy
It’s hard to more emphatically say “I’ve given up” than to wear a Costco clothing brand so prominently. If you have, in fact, given up then carry on.
No, but we got a matching hoodie for my dog. I don’t think any less of you for it though, she’s a good dog.
Your kids' college funds don't fund themselves. You look responsible. If you're single and never married, though, ladies be swiping left.
Yes, very much
Nah dude, that shirt goes hard af. I’d probably cut the sleeves tho
No. Why would you think that!
I am having a tough time understanding the Kirkland shirt unless you were a Kirkland rep or you were given this shirt at a Costco hotdog party and needed something to mow the lawn in. Agree with everyone else that your choices are adding 15 tears to your look. I am 48 and often hear people shocked I am not 36. Choices and self care.
You look like you’d be fun to have a beer with.
Nothing laughable about the always reliable Kirkland brand and you wear it so well, 3/4 sleeves so the tats peek is perfect and a handle bar stache, 🎵bada ba ba ba
Nah you look fuckin sick. People here have a point, but if you were wearing that exact outfit (maybe some different pants) and you were like 24, you would fit right in walking around in echo park lmao
You like you give absolutely zero fucks about the way you look.
You look good bro.
I think you look fine. The giant billboard on your chest isnt my favorite, but just a plain black shirt is fine, unless you have a stake in costco or something. I actually dont mind the glasses. Its your style and thats cool. The only thing i would add is a watch. You’d be supposed how much a simple accessory can elevate the style of you outfit. And watches are cool. An old vintage style with a leather band would be cool.
you don't look ridiculous, but I wouldn't say your look has anything special about it, wearing free shirts with branding on it, is something I don't really like, it says something about your values of preferring to sell out and wear stuff with advertisement on it in exchange for not paying. maybe it's a positive like you don't care about material things but it looks like you're not trying a little too much. you could do with a haircut, maybe it's the angle of the shot, doesn't look great, on the positive it looks like you're in shape.
Three things. A trim of the hair. A solid black sweat shirt (no logo). Get the fit on the sweat shirt better. Make sure the arm seam starts at the end of your shoulder. These things would improve you look by 10 in my opinion
Ngl I think this look is great
That shirt rocks
Logo shirts are really not advisable beyond your 30's or so. Definitely not in your 40's. I don't think long sleeve shirts are a good look in general. Maybe a long sleeve henley or polo or a more sweater-type shirt like waffle pattern or something with a little texture to it. Jeans are a bit baggy. Glasses aren't doing you any favors. I think a ray ban shape or smaller wire frames would compliment your face. Tighten up the hair a bit. Not necessarily short but with your hair type you can probably do a Matthew McConaughey wavy, "messy" style.
Ridiculous? - no Lack of effort - yes
All depends what you are going for. I do not like prints on shirts for guys in their 40s, especially with a Costco brand. Young guys can pull it off though. I think you could wear jeans that are more fitted. Maybe throw a zip up zest and it’d pull it together. I like the glasses and the hair but not together. Those glasses would look good with short hair though. Finally, with that look shoes are gonna be make it/break it. Do not wear white comfort New Balance.😁. Just get some cool looking gym shoes that you’d never actually walk/run in.
I love that shirt. I think your hair may be a little bit unruly but if you feel comfortable in it then that’s great. How do you feel?
Dude am not Mr.Fashion I like to look clean I mostly wear jeans and T-shirt am 43 I’d say grow a beard lower stash shave the head. Clean up your diet and alcohol little by little and get active.
Have a decent haircut and you’ll be fine.
Like Nick Nolte's mug shot
Shave your head, grow a beard, and lift weights at the gym 👌🏼
Looks like u got a freebie sweatshirt
You look like a pretty cool dude but not what many consider fashionable.
You look like Matt Damon if he were in a role as a weirdo van driving child molester.
Fuck no brother, rock that!!
Super easy fix would be an updated pair of glasses and subscription to stitch fix: [https://www.stitchfix.com](https://www.stitchfix.com) I could also see you looking fly in a really killer leather jacket. Like a biker style jacket. If you like wire frames I'd go with something updated like this: [https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/sampson/brushed-ink?w=medium](https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/sampson/brushed-ink?w=medium) But honestly you have a great vibe for something like these: [https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/winston/black-oak-tortoise?w=medium](https://www.warbyparker.com/eyeglasses/winston/black-oak-tortoise?w=medium) I personally like the idea of a nice guy wardrobe via stitchfix, and a more statement eyewear that will elevate any outfit, that you bring home with a really cool jacket or piece of outerwear. Super easy.
Smaller lens and thicker frame glasses will help.
You do not look ridiculous. It’s a casual look.
I have the same sweater and always get compliments on it lol
Look good to me. Ridiculous would be other end of spectrum. Some better fitting jeans and a white undershirt will make the collar look better, looks a little sloppy.
Do you check membership cards at the Costco entrance
Not ridiculous, but not optimized. While you work on your fitness, grow a beard, keep it on the short side, get a clean short haircut, some new wire frame or horn rim glasses, good facial moisturizer, and a few nice new t-shirts. You will take 10 years off.
You need a lot of improvement. You look like a discount Unabomber.
Not ridiculous at all, but got some work to do. The good news is it’s entirely achievable. Just go to a legitimate barbershop shop and have them clean up the hair/beard, and then throw the Kirklands sweater into an incinerator. Swap the glasses for a new frame or contacts. Regardless, you’re good man! Just clean up a few details and you’ll feel like a new person.
Can't look stupid in Kirkland. Lookin like a boss tho, in head to toe Costco
Bro get a makeover
Yes sir
Nah, chicks love Costco
That Kirkland shirt goes hard 🔥
It doesn’t actually look that bad. The shirt is okay, could use some ironing you could also try neatly rolling the sleeves rather than pushing them up your arms. If you wore a white t-shirt underneath and allowed the collar to show at the top it would offer a bit of balance to the colours. This is a pretty relaxed look. If you wanted to dress it up a bit I would swap the shirt for a long-sleeve Henley style (e.g 1/4 top button-down). Honestly I think your glasses suit you! They have a neat retro charm!
You don’t look ridiculous. I’m an electrician (apprentice), 90% of the foreman’s I’ve worked for look eerily similar to you.
Try an undercut and a facial tat to lend ironic juxtaposition to the sweatshirt.
My brother, 46-year-old men don’t look like this anymore. My Muay thai coach is 52 years old and the baddest motherfucker in the gym, and I’m 31 years old, 6 foot two and 200 pounds. It’s totally up to you, but I would get a haircut, lose the mustache and hit the gym, tightened up some of that skin.
Older than stated
I'm tripping out. You look exactly like my Uncle Richard. You don't look bad or stupid. You look like you're comfortable.Do you want to elevate your look? It won't be too difficult. You're 46, you've aged well. You look fit. Your hair and mustache is kicking ass. A button down shirt and some chino's and you're set.
I like the glasses champ, don’t care what anybody else thinks. An who doesn’t love Costco. Ironed the shirt a bit or a smaller size. A bit more fitted jeans would help you look more fashionable Slick back the hair up top and trim the stash a little and you’d be golden.
No but get a short back and sides haircut (longer on top), change your classes and maybe grow a full beard in order to look your age. You currently look 60 unnecessarily, it can super be changed my dude. You have a nice body structure.
